Could I be starting to feel effects of the tree pollen that made me so dreadfully sick last year?
That is... very possible. I have this Energy Trough every spring when I feel as if I'm falling to bits, haven't retained a SCRAP of condition over the winter, and then I take an antihistamine and remember once again that a normal flow of oxygen is just EXTREMELY useful when one is exerting oneself.
What was all my moaning about my weight teaching them about distorted body image?
... that the world really really is out to get us on that point and we all have moments when we droop a bit, but the important bit is to get back up?
Gah. I sound officious and annoying. I don't mean it that way. But I don't think the sight of you having a Bad Body Image Moment every so often is going to undo all your good work. If anything, it probably tends to underscore that This Self-Acceptance Stuff Is Not Easy and women who have trouble with it aren't just brainwashed wusses unworthy of sisterhood.
And in conclusion, and in the hopes that it will make you smile a bit:
